"July 29th 2011 marks the one year anniversary of the implementation of SB1070 and the communities resistance in not complying," states the group's official Facebook event. "We will be having a night of cultural resistance and dialogue of the years past efforts to defeat 1070 and stop it from spreading across the nation."

The event promises spoken word and an art walk, and will feature music from Phoenix cumbia bands 100% Liebre and Grupo Cumbia.

The activist pachanga kicks off at 7 p.m., and is open for donations benefiting the Legal Defense Fund.
